Soda Popper
| “ | ” |
The Soda Popper is a community-made primary weapon for the Scout. It is a broken Force-A-Nature repaired with several black bands and outfitted with slitted barrels. A can of Crit-a-Cola is fitted underneath.
The weapon reloads 25% faster than the Force-A-Nature and offers 50% faster firing speed compared to the default Scattergun. However, the capacity is reduced to only two shells at a time, and it is incapable of delivering random critical hits.
In addition, equipping the Soda Popper places a "hype" meter on the HUD, which fills whilst the player is moving with the weapon active. It takes approximately 5200 Hammer units of distance traveled, either through running or jumping, to fill up the hype meter (The Scout has a base movement speed of approximately 400 Hammer Units a second, so filling up the meter will take about 13 seconds of constant movement). When the meter is full, all weapons will automatically deal mini-crits for 8 seconds. Much like the Force-A-Nature, the reload will replace both shells even when one shell is still available in the ammunition reserve, and the second shot is wasted.

Bugs
- This weapon shares the Hype meter with Baby Face's Blaster's Boost meter; when switching between weapons, hype and boost are interchangeable.
- On 4:3 resolutions, the Hype meter will overlap the objective HUD.
- When viewed in the class selection screen, a shell can be seen behind the Crit-a-Cola portion of the Soda Popper.
Trivia
- The shells have the radiation hazard symbol (☢) on them. [2]
- Although a can of Crit-a-Cola is strapped to the barrel, a Bonk! Atomic Punch is required instead in the crafting recipe. While coincidental, early versions of the Soda Popper had a can of Bonk! Atomic Punch strapped to the barrel.
